Pervious Concrete is an innovative means to manage stormwater run-off, and provide a safe paved surface for parking lots, pathways and sidewalks, streets, roadway shoulders and gutters. This special blend of concrete provides the benefits of traditional concrete with the added ability to filter rainwater through the pavement, storing it below and allowing it to naturally soak into the ground beneath.
The need has never been greater for a simple rapid solution to pavement rehabilitation. With shrinking budgets, and increasing traffic demands agencies are looking to concrete overlays and thin white-topping pavements as the answer. They are cost-effective , can utilize existing roadbed materials and reduce dependency on petroleum products.
There is no doubt that bridges built of concrete can be elegant, functional and long-lasting. Using pre-stressed concrete or high-performance concrete, bridges have been a vital part of our nation’s infrastructure carrying millions of tons of goods and people by rail, transit, truck and car. Concrete bridges provide economy, design flexibility, strength and durability that will withstand the test of time.
Concrete Parking lots deliver a powerful return on investment for the owner. Not only does concrete provide a strong, durable, smooth and safe surface for vehicles and pedestrians, it is more light reflective than black asphalt pavements reducing initial lighting costs and energy costs for years to come.
We need a way to make our tax dollars go further. Agencies that rely on concrete pavements can save money, provide safer streets , reduce energy consumption for lighting, increase fuel efficiency for trucks and cars and dramatically reduce their maintenance budgets. Concrete streets and roads are less sensitive to the volatility of oil prices and last more than twice as long as asphalt pavements.
